Duke Basketball Podcast: Episode 5
2/17/2023 10:34:00 AM | Men's Basketball
DURHAM --Â Episode No. 5 of the Duke Basketball Podcast provides an in-depth look at freshman Dariq Whitehead, who has overcome two injuries this season and is emerging as a key rotation player for the Blue Devils in the home stretch.
Whitehead, a freshman from Newark, N.J., has made nine of his last 13 (.692) and 19 of his last 38 (.500) from three-point range -- a torrid stretch that his him nearing 40% from the perimeter on the season. The freshman should play a key role in attacking Syracuse's zone defense Saturday night at the JMA Wireless Dome.
Also featured this week is a conversation with former Blue Devil Will Avery, who is back on campus finishing up his degree while spending some time with the team and staff. The discussion centers on the importance of finishing his academic work and about how the current team is getting it done in the classroom with the program's academic coordinator Monty Montgomery.
Home to five National Championships, 17 Final Four appearances, 21 ACC Tournament titles and 13 National Players of the Year, the Duke Men's Basketball program is the standard in college hoops. The Duke Basketball Podcast will drop consistently to provide an intimate look at the Blue Devils program from those that have helped set the standard.
